🌍✨ Fiber optic cables reveal ‘icequakes’ in endangered glaciers
Why we’re watching: One of the hottest, most fascinating new fields in science doesn’t sound particularly exciting: distributed acoustic sensing, aka DAS.
It involves using fiber optic cables to spy on the environment, and is proving to be enormously powerful. 💚
By analyzing the way that vibrations scatter light through the wires, scientists can detect volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and even footsteps above.
